Are you for real? No disrespect, but you’re talking about a guy that only played 16 MPG and only averaged 8 PPG/ 5 RPG. As I said in my previous posting, sure, you’d love to keep Keba as a rotation player but this isn’t a guy that comes close to the impact of a Devion Smith or a Branden Carlson. His stats are not even as good as Madsen, who…[Read more]

Yeah, I like that one too and it’s true…

He also said, “no plan survives first contact with the enemy.” The only thing to expect is that something will happen that you didn’t expect.

He’s supremely talented???? Ah no, he’s got elite physical attributes but, in my opinion, a low basket ball IQ. And this is something that I’ve been saying since he joined our program. Sure, he can jump out the gym but he can’t handle the ball well at all and has no outside shot, making him pretty one dimensional. I would love to have kept him…[Read more]

Ryan Smith, New York Style…

I’m still trying to figure out where Saint John’s got the money to attract Smith. For example, it’s a much smaller school than Utah and its endowment is 2/3 of what Utah has. Maybe money wasn’t the deciding factor and what really weighed heavily was the possibllity of playing for a HoF coach that’s put a ton of guys into the NBA?

If money was no object, then what you propose is eminently doable. Unfortunately, without probably some sort of government involvement, greed always wins out. The legacy B1G and SEC universities will always take a line of “why should we share our good fortune with others?”

LOL…I rest my case…bye Felicia…

This guy?

BYU Linebacker Chaz Ah You Arrested On Suspicion Of DUI

While it’s true that Cam was coming off a shoulder injury he suffered the previous year, he was definitely healthy prior to the start of the 2021 season. Brewer just beat him out for the job. It’s not like this happened 50:years ago, so there’s plenty of available news data that refers to it.

There was a lot of hype associated with Brewer…[Read more]

Two words on the 2018 game…Siaosi Mariner…

Any policy that doesn’t explicitly allow the best qualified person to get a specific job is flawed.

That one too…but I will say, that was a pretty damned good TCU team with Andy Dalton as the QB. They were actually ranked higher than Utah going into the game (#3 compared to #5 for Utah). But yeah, that game and the Boise State game in 2006 and the Oregon game last year are the biggest ass whoopings I’ve seen Utah receive at RES.

Whenever the hype starts getting to me, all I have to do is think about the 2019 PAC 12 CCG. All Utah had to do is beat an Oregon team that had nothing to play for to make the CFP. We all remember how that went but I had front row seats to it.

I don’t hate hype, I just don’t trust it. I’ve been watching football pretty regularly for over 50 years and, if I had a dollar for every team that I’ve seen come into a season with hype and then proceed to shit the bed, I’d be having cocktails with Ryan Smith. I much prefer to take the season one game at a time and give each opposing team the…[Read more]

They look at the dismantling of the U’s diversity offices and say, “why should I go somewhere like that.”

This garbage again? Holy smokes, why don’t people do some resarch on this issue? I thought that I had debunked dismantling of DEI as an impediment when I showed some dude that A. Dismantling DEI surely hasn’t hurt recruiting efforts for u…[Read more]

I guess they take their basketball seriously at St. John’s…I’d be interested to see what kind of NIL package he received because it’s not like the Johnnies are Notre Dame plus you have to negotiate NYC on a daily basis.

Karma got Hayward. He was really never the same player after he left the Jazz. Constant injuries, inconsistent performances, you have to wonder if he would do it differently if he had the chance.

I guess we can join the club. There’s only about 130 other teams that use the Eagle nickname.
